Malibu Council to Consider Extending Local Emergency Declaration For Pacific Coast Highway
The Malibu City Council will consider a motion on January 8, 2024 to extend the declaration of the existence of a local emergency related to the increase of reckless and illegal driving on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). The declaration directs staff to coordinate efforts with other governmental agencies to increase attention and create programs to reduce the risk and danger associated with the PCH in Malibu.
Malibu City Council Approves ALERT FM Radio Devices Through FEMA Grant
The Malibu City Council voted unanimously Monday to approve the implementation of an indoor siren warning system in response to the Woolsey fire disaster in 2018. The fire killed three people, burned almost 100,000 acres and prompted the evacuation of more than 295,000 people.
Malibu City Council Discusses Proposed 2023-2024 Budget
Last week, in a special Wednesday night session, the Malibu City Council discussed the proposed fiscal 2023-2024 budget as proposed by staff. It will be the first of four sessions for the public, either at the council or council committee level, to hear and respond to the proposal. These sessions will also allow the council to provide feedback and direction to city staff as they all work toward a finalized budget.
ENDORSEMENTS: Lieberman, Mignano, Rouse, and Tahvildaran-Jesswein for Santa Monica-Malibu Schools
School Districts and their School Boards became real punching bags during the heart of the COVID pandemic, none likely more so than that governing Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD). But using the best science they were given (and it would change at times!), and despite some clear academic and socializing deficits that have clearly resulted from students being home, I feel the district and its board have done comparatively well, and have continued to strive for improvement in student achievement and opportunity. Therefore, we believe Laurie Lieberman and Richard Tahvildaran-Jesswein deserve re-election for another term. We would like to see them joined by district parents Alicia Mignano and Stacy Rouse.
